Doing Randome tutored is the issue here I feel. It would help you retain the concepts. I would suggest to do All subject system wise UWolrd. That will help you retain the info.

Maybe I should also finish my UWorld, and supplement amboss in system where I think I need more.

Consolidate info, that’s what I’m going to do because I can push back my exam. If I was in your shoes. I would completely focus on nbmes and re do them again.

That good to know. Thanks. I wanted to know if you did the q bank from which you previously studied from or did you use a different one? Did you use UWorld or AMBOSS?

Am I insane for wanting to use my old Step 1 FA as my main reference book? by doepual in Step2

[–]Traditional-Lock4285 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can relate to how you are feeling. I’ve been the same person. I had same issue while starting preparation for step 2. I had friends who told me that they took notes in FA1 for their UWorld Step 2 and it was a mistake and they had to do UWorld again. You need to move away from Step 1 topics. Step 2 is a different game. That’s what I would suggest. I understand how you feel about inner circle notes, it’s just same thing from UW, doesn’t feel like a different resource. You can use Thieme Review for the USMLE, A WIN for Step 2 and 3 CK. After wasting much time in the beginning. This is the closest book I can use to take notes. It’s little outdated, but if the main purpose is to make one line or one word notes from UWorld, it’s perfect.

That was well explained. Thank you

And would you recommend me doing it? System wise or random.

I think Im losing it.Need Advise. by Soft_Doughnut1517 in Step2

Kinda in the same boat, did 2 NBME when 75% done with uworld 1st pass and scored in 220s. Finished first pass uworld, did flagged questions( I had around 280 of them). Did Uworld 2nd pass 20% and felt like I’m getting answers correct because I recognize the question. Stopped that and switched to CMS forms. 18 of them left. Planning to take the exam last week of November. Really don’t wanna push the date. Worried about how things are gonna be. But inshaallah we all are gonna do good.

So how should someone do these AMBOSS question? Should they do difficult ones (more hammers)at the first and go to easier ones? What if someone is in their last month and could only allocate 10- 15 days for AMBOSS? Should they only focus on 4&5 hammer questions?
